Is Briana Waters a terrorist?
In an alarming case, U.S. attorneys exploited post-9/11 counterterrorism policies to pursue and prosecute an environmental activist.
By Tracy Tullis [2008-03-27]

  • The motives, NOT the means, are the criteria for the longer sentences.

    Another letter claimed, "They said using terrorist methods should enhance the counters,"

    So arson is a terrorist method if its done for the environment, but a non-terrorist method if it's done for the insurance money? They DO apply the enhancements to cases involving environmental politics. They DO NOT apply the enhancements to cases involving right-wing politics or insurance or other motives.
